I model 1971, when all the cabeese were getting old but still required on trains. I have about 35 locomotives (or will have, once all my rehab and kitbash projects are done). Sadly, I do not have a matching number of cabeese. I think I have about a dozen. <br /> <br />Still, this should be enough for trains which are double or triple-headed. My favorite caboose type is the Norfolk & Western's preference for slightly-off-center cupolas; I used to like bay windows, but they aren't right for my railroad. I figured out how to kitba***he standard Santa Fe-style 36' offset cupola caboose in order to produce a nearly-centered 33' caboose, and this is my basic caboose type for my fictional short line. However, I am desperately hoping for some manufacturer to release an NW C2 or CG style caboose in N-scale; until then, I am content with Atlas's C31-P (though the cupola windows are wrong) and LifeLike's Northeastern style caboose. I also have a few Pennsy-style N5 cabeese painted in my fictional road's colors. I do have one single bay window caboose lettered for Southern- I just couldn't resist!
